Wildcatters Club
For more than 50 years, the OIPA has battled at the Oklahoma state legislature, the Corporation Commission and other government bodies where our business interests are at risk. The most important weapon in our arsenal has been our association’s willingness to significantly support our political allies through the Wildcatters Club of Oklahoma.

Formed in 1978, the Wildcatters Club is comprised of OIPA members who annually contribute to help the OIPA accomplish objectives beyond the time, energy, experience and financial limitations of individual producers. The Wildcatters Club enables the OIPA’s political action committee, OKIEpac, to become directly involved in state legislative races and has made the OIPA the predominant energy industry political player in the state.

For more information about the OIPA's Wildcatters Club or OKIEpac, contact the association at 405-942-2334.
